\n – Update your computer until it says there are no more updates
\n – Position this window over and to the side of the MySpot page, showing your logged into the site, and so that I can see there are no more windows updates for your computer.
\n – If you are running a “liberated” copy of Windows XP, and cannot update, then be sure you’ve turned on your Automatic Updates (found in your control panel, or by visiting the Windows update site) and show the System Properties (by right clicking on the My Computer icon, choosing Properties, Selecting the “General” tab) so I can see that you have Service Pack 2 on your computer.
